First up here are the links to the articles mentioned in the show. Some are great reads, others are painful.

First the Lawyer Herald article that was mentioned, retracting their goof and making a few new ones.

Here is the Indiewire piece that talks about Idris Elba’s historic night as well as laments the fact that Idris seems to be criminally ignored by the industry.

Here is the Deadline Interview with Stephen King  where he goes into The Dark Tower and Hollywood’s track record at picking tent poles.

Lastly here is the Rolling Stone interview with Stephen King where he gives us vague hope that things are finally moving forward and Elba and McConaughey are indeed targeted for Roland and Flagg, respectively.
